  I've been helping out with the Roman festival all week. Its been good fun and the kids have been having a great time, and well behaved for the most part (although one class who'd been to the gift shop and bought toy swords were a bit of handful!). Four more classes tomorrow.
  
  But yes, the place needs a cheering up, and less of the drunks/druggies hanging around. We're talking about maybe organising some volunteers to tidy up the ruins outside and in the base of the tower (we'll need to get scheduled monument consent etc and it will have to be archaeologically supervised; I'll try and organise for later in the year). But the entrance is really a state as Penny says. The seagulls don't help but it is also badly designed, too cluttered, with too many places for drunks etc to congregate. Would be better to have had a simple wide ramp.
  
  But good stuff goes on inside both the Discovery Centre and the Museum, and if we don't support them then one day they won't be there!
